Of Goodies & Gifts... & Nom-Noms!

10Jan12

Just a short update of my not-so-happening life (lol)... Well, I ended my 2011 with a pretty good note...

I won this set of "Clarins must-haves" via Mag (makeupstash) giveaway! This was exactly what I wanted to win! *crazily happy*

Eyeshadow palette, lipstick & blush Oh... and the colors are just what I wished for... hehehe~

Finally had my Ya Kun fix after collecting the Clarins stuff :D

Once a kopi addict, forever a kopi addict! That applies to makeup too (lol).

My craving for Aston's potato salad!

Seriously one of the nicest I've ever tried so far... And it's cheap somemore...

My sis' beef affair, was a pretty good one.

Moral of the story? Try = Buy.

How can anyone resist temptation(s) like this - Dark ferrero!?

Pink Moscato is L♥VE

SUPER-DUPER-NICEEE-MAX!

An impromptu meetup with Angie 

Chill-out @ Spinelli.

I meet her everyday. My lil' sis.

Banana + Expresso = SHIOK!

Nice twist :3

Looks are deceiving.

Belated X'mas gifts from Angie. My sis'.

Love the paperbag xD

Mine. Cherry liquor chocolates & Hello Kitty chopsticks

Skin79 Simple Touch Eyeliner & Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream now available at Watsons!

And, I received this parcel today! :D

Skin79 festive goodies!

Coincidentally, I did a quick swatch this morning at Watsons.

I think I'll like this BB Cream, based on 1st impression...

Brightening is the word.

Another eye-candy alert!

Vampire Prosecutor - Yun Jung Hoon 

Charming-looking dude! I LIKE!


-THE END-

1st LOTD of 2012; My Favorite Look

04Jan12

My 1st LOTD of 2012 - Smoky Eyes. My favorite kind of look; "VERY ME"!

The makeup tools:

  • Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen
  • Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
  • KATE Deep Eyes GY-1
  • Shu Uemura Make Up Color Palette The Basic
  • Sana Gafixx Matsuge Gatch-ly Mascara
  • Duwop Venom Gloss in Coral Tree

 

Had a light makeover after Clarins Skin Time... A mix of Instant Light Complexion Perfector 00 Rose Shimmer & liquid foundation (not sure which range though =.=)... To set the makeup, the BA brushed on Loose Powder 01 Translucent. I touched up a lil', using Lioele Real Crystal Twin Cake 02.

Using Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen, I tightlined the upper lashline and extend beyond the lashline. The liner is slightly thicker for my right eye, to balance my uneven eyes. For the lower lashline, I only lined 1/3 of the outer corner and extend beyond the lashline. Make sure that the extended lines meet at the ends.

I applied the darker taupe shade (KATE Deep Eyes GY-1) on the outer-V, then the light pale peach shade on the inner corners (upper and lower lashlines) and the lighter taupe shade at the middle area. Next, I applied the black shade over the lined area (upper and lower lashlines), more on the outer-V.

To highlight the brow bone, I applied P Pink 103 (Shu Uemura Make Up Color Palette The Basic) using a fluffy brush. Use the same brush to blend out harsh lines. For the cheeks, I brushed on P Amber 87 from the same palette.

This is one of my absolute favorites, KATE Deep Eyes GY-1.

I'm not sure if you can still find this in stores, as it is not a new collection.

The beautiful swatches...

I use all the shades except gunmetal gray, for this look.

Another new favorite black eyeliner - Barry M Intense Black Eyeliner Pen.

I got it from ASOS.com, and it's cheap (I got it in a set).

On its own, it retails for £4.00.

The black is pretty intense, and can be used on the waterline (with minimal fading after 3-4 hours).

As the focus of this LOTD is the eyes, I used a light color (Duwop Venom Gloss in Coral Tree) for the lips.

What's your Favorite Look?

Maybelline Event Aftermath & LOTD: BB Face

17May11

After the Maybelline event, the 4 of us (Jones, Chantana, me & my sis) went shopping. Met a couple of OnSugarettes. Shopping @ Orchard is love! Well, didn't buy much stuff. Canmake's new duo blusher, new panties (lol), a pair of flats.. That's all I think.

 

Dinner time! We finally decided on Bao Today (Marina Square). Was thinking of having steamboat buffet initially >.<

We ordered not many items to share coz not very hungry? Fried prawn dumplings. Average taste.

Beancurd skin rolls. So-so.

My favorite 流沙包s (salted egg yolk custard buns)!

Love these so much! Taste sooo good :d~

Har gau! These steamed prawn dumplings taste much better than the fried ones IMO.

These siew mai may look blah but actually taste pretty good!

Hmm.. I forgot the name (AGAIN I know).. It's Bamboo Glutinous Rice (Thanks Chantana for remembering :p) Ordered 2 to share.. YUMMIER than expected!! Think I was the only one not very keen on ordering this :x

Very tender chicken meat.. Love the super fragrant bits of the glutinous rice! A must-order apart from the custard buns.. Actually, most of the dim sums there are pretty good. Should try others next time. FYI, I prefer this outlet much much more than the 313 one. Satisfying dinner overall :D

 

We didn't stop eating after dinner.. coz I suggested Geláre for waffle ice cream! It's been ages since I had 'em. Used to go there every Tues without fail.

Me like the lamp hahas!

Jones & Chantana's. Hmm I don't know what flavors they order.

Me & sis shared Caramel Fudge Brownie/Pralines 'N Cream waffle with hot fudge and fresh cream.

Expensive indulgence :d~ YUM YUM!

Engrossed in "dissecting" the waffle ice cream (x

:p

Anything & Everything Random (Hauls, Food, etc)

19Feb11

Life is about random whatnots. If you're lucky, you get surprises. If not, just too bad. Life goes on. But most importantly, do remember that happiness lies in your hands. When you're feeling down, think of others who are worse off than you. They're more than willing to be in your shoes, really. Don't think of what you don't have, but rather think of what you have. Contentment is truly a bliss. Don't feel that you're the only one going thru' bad times, many others are too (just that you ain't aware). And the saying goes, "Don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you."

Here's my super random collective hauls. Hmm.. I can't really keep up with my haul posts. That's just not good hahas (x

I received a Dr Jart+ Most Moist package from Confirm Trading for participating in their FB Fanpage mini contest. Clearly, I wasn't the top 3 comments with the most number of likes. But they were very nice enough to let me do the review for the effort I put in, for being no.4 ^^v Yeah I was super happy when I received their email. Many thanks to Joann for contacting me!

The products I received:

  • Dr Jart+ Most Moist Water Sure Gel
  • Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream
  • Dr Jart+ Most Moist Sleeping Mask
  • Dr Jart+ Most Moist Water-Act Skin Mist

 

I'll be posting reviews on them soon. Stay tuned (:

 

 

This was a giveaway (Tony Moly & Missha) won from Marilyn (MariAsh).

 

 

Assorted Elishacoy samples I got from a giveaway.

 

 

Rimmel makeup from NAC Watsons. I bought the Lash Accelerator Mascara (mascara+lash treatment) and Exaggerate Auto Waterproof Eye Definer (Perfect Plum). The duo eyeliner and lipstick are freebies 


 

I like Rilakkuma, and this umbrella is so cuteee! Couldn't resist picking this up (; Purpur, my favorite color!

 

 

My all-time-favorite, My Melody! The lil' kawaii coin pouch comes free with this Seventeen magazine. A pity that the workmanship isn't that perfect though.

 

 

My lil' humble haul from the MAC Mickey Contractor Collection. I got the Fluidline Eye-Liner Gels!

Siahi & Ivy.

Oops I'm so biased eh. MAC is MAD-LOVE  teehee :p

 

 

Random buys from Sasa. BeautyTalk Whitening Sheet Mask and Dr. Young 2p Blemish Base SPF35 PA++.

 

 

Ichikami hair treatment essence. plus free hair mask, shampoo & conditioner samples.

PLUS free travel kit (hair mask, shampoo, conditioner and Kracie sheet mask). Just merely bought only 1 item, so many freebies ^^

 

 

Clarins White Plus HP samples. Whitening Repairing Night Cream and Intensive Whitening Smoothing Serum.

 

 

This is super cute can! Mini Bio-essence 24K Bio-Gold Face+Neck Age Reverse Clear Cream.

 

 

Kiehl's skincare sachet samples.

 

 

Palmer's samples.

 

 

And so, this year no CNY visiting (relatives). Somehow, CNY has lost its festive meaning to me a long time ago. Shan't elaborate on this. Not here to dampen your mood (:

The only visiting was at my colleague's place.

My 1st lou hei. No salmon =.=

HUAT ar!!

I was super afraid when I 1st saw this golden retriever. Yes, a golden retriever that is. Hair shaven off =.=

He was feeling emo coz no more long golden locks for him.

 

 

Dinner at 4 Fingers Bonchon (Ion orchard) with Chantana and Jones before the movie, "The Green Hornet (2011)". We had 4 chicken wings each! I had a mix of soy garlic (left) and spicy (right). They are NOT the BEST chicken wings in S'pore, seriously. The meat was too dry for my liking. Overcooked :/ I just ate only the skin towards the end.

The fries were so-so. Well, I don't think they are consistent with the quality of food so I shall not "condemn" them for now.

Enjoyed the movie. We were LOL-ing throughout. My laughter was the loudest as usual. Aiyooo!~

 

 

Chantana shared this on FB. Woo!~

 

 

Random dinner with Ah xin during the CNY period. Fried black carrot cake. Love the generous serving of eggs! $2 only!

Thai pineapple fried rice with fried egg. Not bad, but we waited very long! The blur uncle forgot my order despite me going there 3 times to ask about my order!!

Tom Yam Seafood. Normal, nothing fantastic

 

 

Breakfast with Ah xin again, coz I couldn't get to sleep. Love Sausage McGriddles With Egg!! Nom nom nom :d~

 

 

Random dinner with Ah mei. The mee siam was pretty good, just that it wasn't hot enough.

Nasi padang I think. Quite tasty.

The spicy chicken wasn't spicy and the meat was too dry.

 

 

Me is Rat. This year seems to be pretty good for me
